What are tips for ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies for ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Can sometimes be found on the NW argentavis peninsula on the Island
When they start to chase you don’t worry. You can easily outrun them even with a few to no speed level ups. Only takes a few tranq arrows and narcotic. If you don’t think you can survive the threats of the north there is a island in the bottom right corner of the map where they can be found.
They can hit like a truck at high levels or if You don’t have armor but they are slow so stay at a range and take shots at them.
Everyone talks about metal farming with them but they are also the only tame that gets both flint and stone from regular rocks. A pick does that too but ankys can defend themselves better then u and ur pick lol. Oh and can farm faster. Use one for metal but let them hit some normal rocks so you can become the sparkpowder lord
This boi hate predators if you being chase just run over this Bois and some herbivore that can fight back
If you are a beginner, find a way to get to herb island . A whole bunch spawn there and ited make it easier to tame
Me putting this here bucuse there no breeding tips so add that pls
When you have a baby anky (hatching takes 18 minutes) they eat a lot A LOT so bring lots and lots of berries
Hope I helped
Ankylosaurus are some of the best metal gatherers, and they also have severe metal ore weight reduction, so that 256 metal can only weigh 68.00 kilograms instead of the full 256 kilograms. If you make a forge-centered base on Herbivore Island in The Island Map, in the far south-east, the metal there respawns often, and an ankylosaurus can get up to at least 108 metal per swing.! Bring a high-weight creature as a pack mule along with you as well, though, as the weight will stack up eventually.!
If looking for anky go to herbivore Island bottom right corner of map there's an abundance there
X variant level 150 took almost double the tranq darts with prim rifle. Make sure you carry more than what this app tells you.
Herbivore Island is a place where you can find LOTS of herbivores, especially these guys, so I suggest riding a water mount to get there.
(P.S: Herbivore Island is a good place to set your base, since there are no enemies there.)
These guys are super slow so you should be able to walk backwards while hitting its head with your slingshot or tranq arrows until it passes out. They're not super demanding when it comes to food or narcotics, though crops will make it a considerably quicker tame than berries.
